sorry to hear about all the problems, I can tell you that I have experienced the same thing.

OpenVPN and SSL VPN do not work, you can get it to work on OpenVPN if you use TCP instead of UDP, SSL VPN has no option for TCP so you probably won't get this to work

you also have a number of other problems, it can probably be related to the SSL VPN configuration, I recommend you delete everything from SSL Config, deactivating is not enough, it must be deleted, then the router must be restarted, very important.

so in short
OpenVPN only TCP
SSL VPN delete all config and reboot.

thanks for replying so fast! in-fact struggled to get support from TP LINK Official e mail support.

I will try and do whatever you have recommended and will update you back...

meanwhile can you let me know if OpenVPN throughput is same as mentioned on specification ? 

Thanks in advance !

I use ER8411 as OpenVPN client to a OpenVPN Server, 

I had to install a OpenVPN server and configure TCP to make it work, the speed is ridiculously low, about 20-30 Mbps

I have not tested With ER8411 as a OpenVPN Server but my guess is superslow..  nice if you update the proges :-)

  @shberge 

Oh means I made a bad choice as Router - specifications given by TP_LINK are not  as mentioned. 

Any way i will try as per recommendations if it doesn't work - i will return the product. 

@TP_LINK  team - surely we do expect some reply from your side.....

On paper this router is exelent but that only on paper for now. I  guess problem with VPN will be fixed in a month or two. 

so if you have some time, you'll probably get a good router in the end :-) 

Maybe

Dear @ajayt,

 

Sorry for the late reply as I just noticed this thread. Next time you may tag me or @Hank21 if you need further assistance.

 

I’m wondering whether your concern was resolved finally? If your concern was resolved, welcome to update this topic thread and share your solution so that others may benefit from it. If the issue still exists, please don't hesitate to reply here and I'll escalate your case to our support team to look into the issue. We are looking forward to hearing from you again.

  @shberge 

My IT team did all your steps but no luck for speed ...

Site to Site vpn is working 

but Open VPN is still super slow ... and not getting connected. 

  @ajayt 

tp-link knows about the problem, so it surprised me that they hadn't fixed it in the latest firmware update. there is probably not much we can do if tp-link will not prioritize problems as big as there are with the ER8411, until further notice I use an ER605v2 for OpenVPN and route all OpenVPN traffic via this.
I have had to give up the SSL VPN project for now.

I ask support about different thing and this is answer form TP-Link support, so this is not unknown problem at al.

Dear Customer, 

Hello and thank you for contacting TP-Link support.

1. The CPU is in the normal range, because there are some high-performance data processing, the software process usage will be high

2. There will be some problems when using IPsec and OpenVPN together, it is recommended to use it alone

3. For OpenVPN, we would like to  recommend choosing the TCP protocol

4. Due to working mechanism of ER605 and ER8411 is a little bit different, so we don't suggest you use Ipsec VPN and OpenVPN at the same time.
